GLOBAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
1. APPLICABILITY. These Global Terms and Conditions of Sale (“Terms”) apply to the purchase of products
and services (collectively the “Products”) by the seller (“Company”) and the buyer (“Client”), each of
which is identified in the accompanying quotation, credit application, proposal, order acknowledgement,
or invoice (the “Sales Confirmation”). This Agreement and the Sales Confirmation comprise the entire
agreement between the parties (collectively, the “Agreement”). Client accepts these Terms by signing
and returning Company’s proposal, by sending a purchase order in response to the proposal, or by
Client’s instructions to Company to ship the Product. No terms, conditions, or warranties other than those
identified in the proposal and no agreement or understanding, oral or written, in any way purporting to
modify the terms and conditions whether contained in Client's purchase order or shipping release forms,
or elsewhere, shall be binding on Company unless hereafter made in writing and signed by Company's
authorized representative. Client is hereby notified of Company’s express rejection of any terms
inconsistent with this Agreement or to any other terms proposed by Client in accepting Company’s
proposal. Neither Company's subsequent lack of objection to any terms, nor the delivery of the products
or services, shall constitute an agreement by Company to any terms.


2. CANCELLATION. Cancellation or modifications of all or part of any order are subject to Company’s
prior written consent in each instance. If cancellation or modification is allowed, Client agrees to pay to
Company all expenses incurred and damage sustained by Company on account of the cancellation or
modification, plus a reasonable profit.


3. PRICE. All stated prices are exclusive of any taxes, fees, duties, and levies, however designated or
imposed, including but not limited to value-added and withholding taxes that are levied or based upon
the amounts paid under this Agreement (collectively, “Taxes”). Any Taxes related to the Products
purchased pursuant to this Agreement are the responsibility of Client (excluding taxes based on
Company’s net income) unless Client presents an exemption certificate acceptable to Company and the
applicable taxing authorities. If possible, Company will bill Taxes as a separate item on the invoice
presented to Client. If any exemption certificate presented by Client is held to be invalid, then Client
will pay Company the amount of the Tax and any penalties and interest related thereto.


4. PAYMENT. Client agrees to pay all invoiced amounts within thirty (30) days following the issuance date
of Company’s invoice. Unpaid amounts will accrue interest at a rate equal to the lesser of one percent
(1.0%) per month and the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, from due date until paid, plus
Company’s reasonable costs of collection. Company reserves all other rights granted to a Company
under the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) for Client’s failure to pay for the Products or any other
breach by Client of these Terms. In addition to all other remedies available to Company (which
Company does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), Company may suspend the delivery
of any Products if Client fails to pay any amounts when due and the failure continues for fifteen (15)
days following Client’s receipt of notice thereof. Client may not withhold payment of any amounts due
and payable as a set-off of any claim or dispute with Company, regardless of whether relating to
Company’s breach, bankruptcy, or otherwise.


5. DELIVERY; SHIPPING.

will be entitled to any and all extra costs and expenses resulting from the delay. Company will
not be liable for any delays, loss, or damage in transit, and failure to deliver within the time
estimated due to a technical constraint will not be a material breach of this contract on

to Company of the non-delivery within five (5) days following the date that Client would, in the
ordinary course of business, have received the Products. Company’s liability for any non-
delivery of the Products will be limited to replacing the Products within a reasonable time or
adjusting the invoice for the Products to reflect the actual quantity delivered.

has delivered the Products to the Delivery Location, or if Company is unable to deliver the
Products to the Delivery Location on the date because Client has failed to provide appropriate
instructions, documents, licenses, or authorizations, then: (i) risk of loss to the Products will pass to
Client; (ii) the Products will be deemed to have been delivered to Client; and (iii) Company, at
its option, may store the Products until Client takes possession of them, at which time Client will
